Abstract

The development of the world in the 21st century is marked by the use of information and communication technology in all aspects of life. An alternative solution to this problem is to develop thematic digital science teaching materials integrated with the Iqra learning model to improve concept mastery and creative thinking for Grade VIII students of junior high school. This type of research is development research. The model used is the 4D model. The data obtained at the practicality were analyzed using descriptive percentages. First, the thematic digital science teaching materials integrated with the Iqra learning model are valid with a score of 90.40 which is in the very good criteria. Second, Iqra integrated thematic science teaching materials are practical according to teachers and students with scores of 92.08 and 81.01 with very good criteria. Third, Iqra integrated thematic digital science teaching materials are effective for improving concept mastery and creative thinking skills for students. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that Iqra integrated thematic science teaching materials to improve conceptual mastery and creative thinking for Grade VIII students of junior high school meet practical criteria.
